- The Burned Man, well acquainted with Stoicism and Roman things, reads the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the last of the "Five Good Emperors". The original text was written in 167 AD, and this translation is by George Long, and the voice actor for Joshua Graham is Keith Szarabajka.
Let me know in the comments what voice you want next, and what work you want them to read!
Any lil bit to help me overcome my illness is greatly appreciated (emoji)

Watching this because I don't have enough money to buy the book
It can’t cost that much.
It would just be like Joshua to share wisdom and knowledge and not expect a penny in return, take advantage and good luck
Honestly this is probably better
I can send it to whoever would like to receive it. This book is too moving and informative for someone not to have.
@@nicholasloss7322 I would love to get it if it's not too much trouble
“If any man despises me, that is his problem. My only concern is not doing or saying anything deserving of contempt.”
“Think of the life you have lived until now as over and, as a dead man, see what’s left as a bonus and live it according to Nature. Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own, for what could be more fitting?”
Rejecting plebian sportsball distractions, trading public schooling for home schooling, and abstaining from meaningless pleasures of the flesh... the man really was a genius.
@Brady Motivates Check out Taoism, it's a hell of a philosophy to combine with stoicism.
Is this sarcasm? sorry, have to ask, i'm old and cant keep up every time someone is sarcastisc or ironic.
Since, rejecting public schools is rejecting a a set standard, sure, i could kinda agree that MOST of ANYTHING that could be claimed "standard" 1800+ years ago, is that what you mean or are you a fan of homeschooling today? if so, in which country? i could understand and would emediatly say yes to homeschooling if i lived in north korea for example, while in more stable countries with riches in knowledge and a set standard from this wealth of our collective wisdom, history, art, mathematics, socio economiscs, spots etc, plus there's the whole social part.
Even if the past time between periods would probably involve stoning of the local leper or something of similar sportsmanship and bonding amongst the youth, the social part would probably be the only good part with school back then, man i have heard stories from my grandma and the methods of discipline, madness...and that wasn't even 100 years ago - -
@@SOLH-vq3lh Your grandpa probably turned out better than the youth of today. He didn’t have teachers pushing radical belief systems on him. No shooter prep drills. No microplastics in his food, no psuedoestrogens either. They didn’t push rewriting the pasts mistakes to fit a narrative of victimhood. No keeping up with the Jones’s mentality being pushed at all times via social media leading to skyrocketing depression/suicide rates. Homeschooling in the US has been said to turn out “weirdoes” but in public schools you’ll have someone insist they’re a cat and walk around wearing ears and a tail, purring from the compliments from their classmates for being such a free spirited individualist.
I mean sports is good for excercise and team building. If the “home” has a good curriculum that centers on “how would we find out what’s more accurate to reality” or some specialized trade/skill.
In that last one though breeding for poorer people was more an obligation to have hands to work. But in the more contextual sense hedonism has ruined nations and is always simultaneously endorsed and condemned by the wealthy and corrupt.
@@SOLH-vq3lh modern public schools in the west, and especially in America, mostly just exist to give money to corporations. They feed the students junk food like lunchables, fries and pizza in the lunch break to get them addicted to corporate food early (and get them on the fast track to diabetes, so they'll have to pay for insulin).
Then in class if a child displays any abnormal behavior at all, the teachers will immediately demand that they be diagnosed with something like ADD, Aspergers, etc. And then the teachers will demand that the parent medicate the child.
For example I had an unstable home environment and resulting insomnia. I acted out in school. Instead of interrogating any of the issues I had, even though they were extremely obvious (like sleeping in class), they just put me on Dexamphetamine, a powerful stimulant which just made everything worse. This is because Big Pharma has spent decades influencing teachers to think that every problem a student might have is medical, and giving them pills is the first and only solution.
Nowadays they extend this even further, with teachers going after any student (even kindergartners) that displays even the tiniest amount of gender nonconforming behavior (like playing with the wrong toy), and telling them they must be Trans, and putting them on the pipeline to puberty blockers and then surgery (which results in someone becoming, a crippled, lifelong medical patient - the perfect cash cow for corporations). Then they hide it from parents and demonize them if they try to protest or protect their children from unnecessary harm.
Western society doesn't view people as People, it views them as meat. Cattle. Something to be ground up and exploited until death, then thrown away. And that process of causing harm to you in order to extract money starts in Kindergarten and never stops for the rest of your life.
And what do you get in exchange for putting your child in such an exploitative capitalist environment? A bunch of incoherent propaganda and terribly done lessons from teachers who don't care about anything because they can't be fired. Functional illiteracy is increasing year after year, but at least all the right people are getting buckets of money out of it.
Anyone who would willingly send their child to a Public School in the West doesn't deserve to be called a parent (unless they have no other choice).
I want every single book in the world read by Joshua Graham ai. This is so good.
I couldn't think of a fallout character that represents a stoic better than Graham.
he needed to be talked dowb from the path of vengence...
I fell asleep sick watching youtube, thought this was part of a fever dream when I woke up.
Can we just appreciate how good and realistic this program is. It genuinely sounds like areal person reading from the book.
Because it is a real fucking person
I was looking for meditations narrated by Josh 3 days ago. It's as if you read my mind because now you have a full audio book.
We know. Welcome to the simulation, my friend.
@@jjww30 Might as well strap in and get comfortable. This is going to be quite a ride.
Somehow Graham fits perfectly for this role: Thank you for your contribution.
this is probably one of the best use cases for ai that I've seen
"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
I'm 17 and I'm listening to this I think this is gonna lead to a building of character I'vebeen writing down notes this has helped me come to terms with my actions that lead me to be expelled from high school
You're walking the same path I once walked. I too was expelled from high school at 17, and delved deep into self reflection, philosophy, and the process of building a new person.
Im sure our situations aren't identical, but I personally fell into a bad place filled with shame for a couple of months. I dug myself out with the realization that I need to just start doing something other than sitting around. I did a lot of reflection, philosophical reading, and figuring out who I was, and want to be. I realized that I never wanted to return to that horrible place I was in.
It sounds like you're on the right path, friend. I recommend figuring out what you value/admire and what you want to build your character behind. For me, that was Discipline, Honesty, Hard work, Strength and Kindness. As well as a spattering of others.
Don't measure yourself against others, or others perceptions of those values. Hold yourself accountable to your perception of those values. To become an individual you must not let the opinions of the herd sway your motives.
Good luck on your journey, and apologies for the essay.
@@genericyoutubeusername8418 thank u and do not apologize your word mean alot to me thank you stranger
I hope you're still on the right path. ❤
@@CounterCurseMantra I'm happy to say I am
I listen to this at the gym. Thank you for uploading!
This is an amazing combination of text and character!
The first time I heard Marcus Aurelius was through Akira the Don( highly recommend for people who just want cliff notes version of philosophical thinkers.) Hearing it in graham's voice is quite the treat.
Aye bro same here, big fan of WattsWave!
Watching this while reading along, heightened understanding achieved
I’d love to hear Joshua Graham read The Emerald Tablets Of Thoth or the Hermetica.
Second this 🎉
This is soothing
This is truly incredible and I am very grateful for it.
I've listened to this 3 times already.. this is beautiful
This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

This is great
LOL I have the exact book he's reading from sitting on my desk. I was just googling random New Vegas stuff, but now I guess I'm following along to an audiobook.
You have done God`s work with this Masterpiece.
I was so confused, I woke up with this playing (I leave youtube on when I go to bed). At first I was like "I don't remember these dialogues..." Then 10 minutes after I'm really confused because I'm like "How come he talks for so long ?!"
Then I looked the title.
As a Roman, this is an ancestor i am proud of, although one cannot be sure that he always fully practiced what he so beautifully and eloquently preached.
He was a politician, after all.
Some people argue that this was more of a reminder to himself, not him writing down how he actually behaved. More like a guideline to give him direction, a diary to read everyday so he does not forget the lessons therein.
I don't understand half of this but i learned everything from a fraction.
I appreciate this.
Why did i wake up to this
I’m not sure if anyone else can hear it, but the AI is so good,
That it occasionally has breath lines. Spooky but amazingly cool

Very nice stuff. 👍 😊

I loved this book
This goes hard

could you possibly do the “13 rules to life by jordan b
It's copyrighted.
Bruh I didn't know this was playing during my sleep and the entire video just kept going on until it the end
Personally I find Hays translation as my favourite but still, this one is read by Joshua Graham so it's a clear win this time for Long's version
Timeless 💔⌛
Looking forward to this
I woke up from my sleep and ended up here I had a legit fever dream because of this lol
Must’ve been a life changing dream brother
It's a hard path he chose, but nothing worth doing is easy.
I wonder what Joshua Graham would actually think of Marcus Aurelius’s book considering it goes against some Christian ideals and Marcus criticized Christian’s.
There is quite a lot of distortion that comes up the longer the text goes on. You might wanna fiddle with the voice settings/correction or just do smaller samples
Yeah it's something I've noticed, will work on it for the next one.
This is not the version you want to read/listen, since it's tweaked for modern sensibilities hence the use of "free speech" instead of "elegance of language" or "freedom of conversation" which had different meanings for Marcus Aurelius.
I recommend one of the version from Gutenberg's library (the website) or the Internet Archive instead.

Sound quality dips hard at points, sounds like someone’s grabbing josh by the nads. Over all good listen though
This is nearly 4 hrs. long. That's a lot of pistols.
Now do the book of mormon
Thank you for using a version with BC and AD as the time notation. Had to immediately click off another video because it used CE.
Fun fact: CE is just as accurate as AD and it stands for “common era”. 2023 AD is the same as 2023 CE or ACE, it’s just rarely used in modern times.
The Gregorian calendar, which is the dating system we use to measure years today, was created by a pope of the Catholic Church.
It’s simply another example of the evolution of human time-tracking, just not created by a Christian.
@@slither308 it was an invented to push secular conventions onto the populace, nothing more.
This would be so much better with the Gregory Hays translation.
Oh I agree
The Hays translation is good but too colloquial. The Grube translation has a terse eloquence to it that I’ve always loved.

The synthesis does have some quieter parts, something I can try fix for the next one.
This is suspicious, it was published shortly after Niccyans vote pole. I'm not throwing around accusations but this is very different from all your other content and it seems all too convenient that you released the video between the time that he had released the pole and when he streamed it live.
I saw Niccyans Art of War video and it was other videos and his that gave me the idea to have Joshua read other things, and Meditations seemed the perfect fit. However I was totally unaware he had a poll. But it makes sense that me and other people would both have the same idea given the character Josh is. In the future I will keep an eye on his polls and I'm sure there's more than enough voice over works for the both of us! Also it's totally fine to throw accusations around btw, which is exactly what you're doing when you say "it seems all too convenient". Have belief in your convictions and say things plainly, as Marcus would want!
It’s definitely very suspicious.
With how much this genre of videos is trending with so many new channels trying to jump on, its actually not the most outrageous thing that someone would have the same idea without knowing someone else was already in the midst of doing it, especially when it is something as simple as having a popular character with a ROMAN themed backstory that is used frequently in these synthesized videos read a popular ROMAN piece of literature.
Did you steal this idea from Niccyan
If he did, Niccyan is no better. I think he got some of his video ideas from another channel called Synthetic Soundsmith.
The word "steal" most definitely is an absurd choice. Seeing as how they're hundreds of Joshua Graham's channels popping up daily. It's trending.
@@OneDayAtATime365 long reads and motivational ai trend definitely started with synthetic Soundsmith's first upload, I watched it explode in real time and now a bunch of other channels are jumping on the trend.
No, I had no idea Niccyan was doing a poll, and was a bit mortified finding out about it and that his audience had voted for the same idea that I had. But I had published the video before finding out any of this, and at first thought he had borrowed my idea when he published his vid lol. I was inspired by his other Joshua reads vids, but had no intention of cutting in on his audiences poll. In future I'm sure there will be enough works for both of us to do voices on!
